My condolences to the family Marisa Baron a wonderful & talented artist. I met her when we lived for a few short years in Lawrence Ind. at art showing she had at a mall...I have more than 1/2 dozen of her work send my daughter has one...I learned of her passing while inquiring about her work for insurance purposes and was sadden to learn of her passing. I am also shocked that her art is rated so low in cost. I don't think those who look at her art realize Marisa Baron was legally blind (I believe this is correct) and she painted what she saw from the windows of her home which is what drew me to her art besides being fascinated with birds! I will always remember her the lovely lady she was and my prayers go out to her family! God Bless!
